The ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region including India, comprises a combined population of 1.85 billion people, one-fourth of the global population. Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma), and Laos are included.
As Biden doubles down on a proxy war against Russia in Europe, and given the financial stakes within the western economic sanctions, the global trade cleaving could leave the countries around India with a decision on which financial trade mechanisms they will support.
This is the background for Joe Biden to organize a special summit of ASEAN leaders in Washington, DC, May 12th and 13th.
WHITE HOUSE – President Biden will host the Leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Washington, DC on May 12 and 13 for a U.S.-ASEAN Special Summit.
The Special Summit will demonstrate the United States’ enduring commitment to ASEAN, recognizing its central role in delivering sustainable solutions to the region’s most pressing challenges, and commemorate 45 years of U.S.-ASEAN relations.
It will build on President Biden’s participation in the October 2021 U.S.-ASEAN Summit, where the President announced $102 million in new initiatives to expand our engagement with ASEAN on COVID-19 recovery and health security, fighting the climate crisis, stimulating broad-based economic growth, promoting gender equality, and deepening people-to-people ties.
It is a top priority for the Biden-Harris Administration to serve as a strong, reliable partner in Southeast Asia. Our shared aspirations for the region will continue to underpin our common commitment to advance an Indo-Pacific that is free and open, secure, connected, and resilient. (link)
…”So, well, I told them we needed to focus on cat food for transgender kittens.”
Why?
10% to the Big Guy?
It is WW3 and we already lost. There is no coalition of the willing. Any appearance of a coalition is the coalition of the coerced. USA uses threat of sanctions to control votes. The USA is now referred to as The Evil Empire outside of the USA.
The correct move for Trump was to Kick Rubio out and run for Senate where Biden could be put on a leash. Trump failed and there will be no USA to save come 2024.
Moving forward the best Trump can do is save Florida and separate from the USA. Florida is an asset state. Florida needs to separate itself from the liability states and move forward.
Right now, Trump is just an RNC butt licker. Sorry Trump lovers. But not sorry. Deal with it.
Florida needs to protect itself from nuke attack. That is where this is headed. Desantis can govern and Trump can do international relations. Quit dreaming the USA can be saved. She had her run. Let the liability states crush on their own weight.
Drivel, nothing to offer but drivel.
So, if you have nothing to say, my post stans solid as a rock.
You have absolutely “nothing to say”, except drivel.
Apparently, my post is so solid you cannot pick out anything I said as a weakness and attack it.
Characterizing it as “drivel” and walking, is the same as throwing in the towel.
Nope. Calling “drivel” drivel and not wishing to “engage” with such drivel, does not remove it from drivel status.
Give Inisfad credit for taking the time to try to explain why the drivel is drivel, but suspect it is not a good use of time, or helpful to those uninterested in dealing with facts,& reality.
Kind to do so though.
‘The correct move for Trump was to Kick Rubio out and run for Senate where Biden could be
put on a leash. Trump failed and there will be no USA to save come 2024.”
And how would have had Pr. Trump ‘kick out Rubio”
“Moving forward the best Trump can do is save Florida and separate from the USA. Florida is an asset state. Florida needs to separate itself from the liability states and move forward.”
Southern states tried that once and lost terrily…exactly how is Pr. Trump to ‘Save Florid” DeSantis seems to be doing an admirable job.
“Florida needs to protect itself from nuke attack. That is where this is headed. Desantis can govern and Trump can do international relations. Quit dreaming the USA can be saved. She had her run. Let the liability states crush on their own weight.”
Of course Florid can protect itself from nuclear attack by launching oranges at the Chinese missiles,,,,,,and what makes you think the CCP will ‘negotiate’ when they are winning a war.
No further discussion from me, as how you think is so superficial it is impossible to explain it to you.
I’ll bite. It’s true that much of the global population and their governments view the US as the ‘evil empire’, particularly as more and more info comes out globally about US interference everywhere.
That’s pretty much where your correct analysis ends.
Kicking Rubio out? It’s unlikely a past president, particularly Trump, would step down to become a Senator.
Florida to secede from the union? Absurd on every level. What is Florida’s assets. Oranges and retired people? Golf courses and tourism? Do you even know what an ‘asset country’ is??
Trump being an RNC butt licker. Who knows? In order to move anywhere in politics, you need to play certain games, have certain allegiances, etc., etc. While Trump may or may not make a move in 2024, he HAS awakened a large portion of the population, both in the. US and abroad, that may not have been politically awake beforehand.
A nuke attack on Florida? How absurd. If any country was going to nuke the US (and nukes are normally used as a deterrent, rather than as an instrument of aggression), they wouldn’t be nuking Florida, but would nuke political, financial or military centers in the US. Florida is none of these.
So, your post is anything but ‘rock like’.
Thank you for a legitimate response rather than the abusive personal attacks. Not that those personal attacks phase me. It does not allow for a legit response to what I said.
First, where we are in agreement is that the US is being viewed as the evil empire. That saves a lot of typing right there! Do Floridians really want to attach themselves to that when WW3 has started already? Florida needs to claim neutrality and the only way to do that is to succeed from the union.
I have posted numerous times that the correct move for Trump would e to run for Senate. My argument for that is all the Rino’s need to get called out. To save this country (USA) a leash needs to be put on Biden (USA) now. It cannot wait until 2024. Every sitting Senator has already violated their oath of office on two counts during the last impeachment trial. They should all resign in shame! Trump will not call them out which is why I call him a RNC butt licker!
A true patriot would stand for the Constitution. Trump only stands for himself. Trump supports violations of the Constitution by remaining quiet. By remaining quiet he supports traitors.
“Do you even know what an ‘asset country’ is??”
Yes, Florida is an asset state. The USA had a debt of 20 trillion when Trump entered the game. It is now over 30 trillion. The USA is creating economy with debt that will never be repaid. If the USA is an asset, it is a quickly deteriorating one. The new economy is building low income and homeless housing while millions stream across the border making the housing issues worse. The USA is a dead animal, a MD just has not called it yet.
“A nuke attack on Florida?” Yes. If I wanted to neutralize the USA I would take out the ports. No civilian or military targets would be required. Minimum, Florida would lose Tampa and Miami. The USA is a consumer economy that is heavily reliant on imports. That includes imports required for internal manufacturing.
Thanks for taking time to participate in the discussion.
Just a few comments regarding your last post.
I don’t think that Biden will make it to 2024, and will either be removed with the 25th Amendment or due to implications regarding Hunter’s laptop. While I agree that RINO’s should be removed, sadly this is a matter for their voting constituency. Trump is making inroads into that, with his endorsements. For whatever this is worth. We have learned, sadly, that our voting set up may not be as legitimate as we initially thought.
The violations of the Constitution……
Florida is totally unable to act as a separate legitimate country, regardless of its ‘assets’. The question is whether the US is creating an economy that is doomed for failure purposefully. And if you listen to people like Catherine Austin Fitts, or even the WEF, it appears that the destruction of the US as a super power is being done methodically and on purpose, whether through the destruction of the middle class, the destruction of the dollar, mass illegal immigration, etc, etc.
Florida is not a major player in commerce, and if its only attribute is ‘ports’ there are certainly many others to take its place. It is true that the US is a consumer economy, and most of what it consumes comes from the China. If we watch the Russian conflict in Ukraine, the first things that were hit were airfields, fuel reserves, military areas, etc. It is unlikely that any country will engage in nuclear warfare, regardless of the verbiage. Everyone suffers, whether aggressor or recipient.
Your points regarding the second impeachment trial.
Before the development of the hypersonic ballistic missile, Russia was working on nuke powered torpedoes with a 6k mile range that had an underwater speed of between 50-100 mph.
This should tell you something about Russia’s thoughts on nuke targeting. Most likely targets would be commercial ports to make the development numbers worthwhile. Now they have the Mach 20 hypersonic. Because they have another way to do the same job does that change the thoughts on targeting?
Frankly, nothing that the Democrats did, regarding the Trump candidacy or presidency would be considered constitutional or even legal.
And while I don’t think that Wikipedia is often a viable source for info, the US also has nuke powered torpedos. What does that say about the US idea of nuke ‘targeting’?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_torpedo
Again, this doesn’t detract from my comment that nuclear weapons, at least thus far, have been used as a deterrent, rather than as an instrument of aggression.
By the way, if you haven’t already heard it, MacGregor talks about the use of nuclear weapons in his interview here: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/04/17/col-douglas-macgregor-discusses-current-status-of-conflict-in-ukraine/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=col-douglas-macgregor-discusses-current-status-of-conflict-in-ukraine
Apparently your ‘solid rock drivel’ exudes from your ‘solid rock head’
with Biden it’s DRIBBLE not drivel
Attitudes like that……………..Always indicate a lose-lose-loser strategy.
PDJT is a winner; not a loser.
If you truly believe the USA is over, where are you gonna go?
Trump is an RNC butt licker.
The republicans violated their oath of office during the last impeachment trial on two counts. Trump has not called out a single one.
The true mark of an RNC butt licker!
Are you talking about the 2021 impeachment? He called Liz Cheney (who voted for impeachment) a “bitter horrible human being”. Is that not good enough for you? lol I’m not going to bother to see what he said about the others, there were 9 I think.
Cheney is a house member. She was not involved in the Trial. My post clearly says impeachment trial.
Picking somebody not involved in the unconstitutional trial and then saying Trump said something about her does not address my point.
If you can find any evidence that Trump addressed it, please post it. Otherwise, my claim Trump is an RNC butt licker stands.
The RNC never had any favorable thoughts about Pr. Trump…..and your disrespectful characterization deserves to be condemned.
What a political moron!
Perhaps you would be happier and more effective, if you actually did some REAL RESEARCH, rather than just spewing forth folklore and fiction.
It is people such as yourself that pass along bad information to many people who do not have the time or the energy to do in-depth research.
Comments such as yours are not helping anyone who wants a better world for their children.
Please think about what you post and the message you are attempting to get out.
Every word in that post; it an absolute L.I.E.
If I posted a lie, call it out and I will debate it. You just spent 6 paragraphs trying to swing people on emotion. Love is an emotion. Love is blind. Cut the insults and address meat with meat.
So, your entire rejoiner is to personally attack the commenter and not the substance of their argument?
Come on, we expect better here.
Why call someone a moron you can’t do any better than to start name calling has it really come to that here on this site
He literally has a photo collage of the Republicans that voted for impeachment with an X through the ones that announced retirement, and then he says how many more are left to kick out. How else should he call them out?
Ye right, so one state takes on the globalist scum !!!!
Do you beat your wife after she cooks your dinner ?
Insults that I beat my wife does not address my post.
If the analogy fits……..
Comment deleted by Admin…
Pulp Fiction much.
🤣 Thanks for the quip, Mungrel. “Pulp Fiction much(?)”👌 👍
One thing is for sure regarding this particular Sundance post 📫 and a couple of comments, labels 🏷 and filters are clearly revealed and can now be applied for future reference.
✅️ from zeke, “your illiterate ass”.
(Fortunately my “ass” goes along with everything I say, do and learn…at least for now. I’ll keep closer guard 💂♂️ of what might be crawling up it like zeke must be watching 👀 out for what crawls up his.)
✅️from bertdilbert, “Trump” an “RNC Butt Licker”
Great 👍 identifying label 🏷. From Now on this filter will be utmost in my reading comments and any such allegations against President Trump will bring an immediate disregard for ANYTHING that commenter might wish to enlighten us regarding President Trump and the support of the MAGA movement.
👉 But the good news is we clearly have revealed who is playing what game 👈
Very good point!
😎⚠️Get ready abigailstraight!!
✅️I’m pretty sure more clarity from commenters are on the way as primary season then the general elections take place.
✅️It necessary for all of us to know who and what we’re up against including and starting with self important commenters to Deep State narrative manipulators.
👉Better the opponent I see 👀, know and understand than what surprises I am not yet aware of…yet.👈
How is Florida breaking off from the USA a Deep State narrative? I call it self-preservation for the state of Florida.
You know, continued nullification is a form of secession….
You don’t like “RNC butt licker” because it is a label?
OK here is a new label. Strawberry shortcake deluxe.
It is made on a bed of syrupy strawberry slices, a slice of cake, more strawberries, another slice of cake and of course, more strawberries!
Then it is topped with whipped cream, two cherries and then the whole thing is drizzled with hot chocolate fudge!
Any reasonable person would take one bite, say “Oh hell yeah!” and proclaim the label is representative of the underlying fixings.
Being label adverse does not address the underlying fixings. It only implies you may find the flavor unflattering to your palate.
Fun reply!
And personal attacks would get you banned on ourfreenation.org.
🤔…”Right, now Trump is just an RNC butt licker ”
👉 At least we have clarity on how you perceive President Trump and our current political situation👈.
✅️We can always filter anything posited from your opinions with this filter in mind, “Trump is just an RNC butt licker”.
😳Maybe your opinion is somewhat enlightened and accurate. Which “Butt licker will you be promoting for President and why. Maybe we can get up to your level of understanding and labels 🏷
✅️Meanwhile I’m still on the MAGA movement and in politics until the Country dissolves or is destroyed.
Unless the RINO’s are removed in the Senate, the President can achieve little. You guys will be running around crying because the head of the FBI and DOJ suck. The reason they will suck is because the Senate will tell Trump who they will approve and only swamp will be approved.
It is as if we learned nothing from our last go of it.
Removing the RINOs isn’t Trump’s job, it’s OURS! Trump is doing a lot right now by helping candidates who are not RINOs. It’s up to us to vote smartly.
Hate to point out the obvious…2020 election was stolen by 5 state legislatures supported by our federal government, while GOP stood idle and declared the election valid.
If anyone thinks 2024 is going to be different or fair using dominion voting machines connected to the internet is deluding themselves.
2020 ended forever the thought we live in a republic. Nothing less than the removal of Congress, K street, msm stranglehold on free speech and bloated unelected bureaucracy will return the country to what our founding father envisioned.
Well said Mike. I can’t imagine that the majority of republicans would ever stand up and demand fair elections. If they did the Marxist judges would simply call it racist. Unless there is a miracle we are all screwed. We have already lost the supreme court. What do we have left?
You really need to get a grip on reality in politics.
Living in absolute la-la-land with your rules always wins..
When was the last time your ran successfully/unsuccessfully for public office?
Just curious.
Trump ran for office and won first time out of the gate. Did not having exp in public office disqualify his opinion? As far as I know, there is no requirement to have run or held public office to foment an opinion?
How is Trump supposed to remove Rinos? He’s a private citizen and one vote, in Florida. What are YOU doing to help GOTV in the PRIMARIES? or do you just prefer to constantly spew anti Trump drivel on the Treehouse while Trump works his ass off for our country. The true problem is McConnell fighting to elect more Romney. Collins and Murkoeski’s to the Senate and along with Paul Ryan and his ilk working to keep Cheney in office so spare us your “Trump is a buttlicket” drivel.
Hey Richard Cranium…what are you smoking? Insanity at its worst!
“Trump is just an RNC butt licker” You have to be kidding me.
This pretty much sums up what we’ve become:
Indeed bertdibert,
.. tis the ‘coalition’ of the “$willing” .. cuz one would have to recklessly imbibe in the neoliberalconned ‘squeeze, to believe the globullist bbb bs works – if only one believes their U.$ savior..!
!
An independent Florida.. I agree.. and although having next to nothing of an Energy infrastructure.. Florida has enormous untapped energy reserves in its far and wide Gulf of Mexico continental shelf..
and it can be extracted safely within a strict protocol.. and with no rigs or platforms within view of the coastline..
Offshore Alabama for example.. how many rig/platform oil spills have they had.. none..
I had worked on a Shell Rig offshore Dauphin Island and needed to take a piss.. so I did what we all did offshore Louisiana and Texas.. I walked to the railing and started to piss overboard..
while pissing somebody tapped me on my shoulder.. I turned and it was a Shell Rep (I could tell by his unscathed squeaky clean like brand new hard hat with company emblem.. emerald green lensed sunglasses.. and squeaky clean clothing..)..
he said “..Sir.. you may can do that in offshore Louisiana – but you can’t do it here in offshore Alabama..”.. actually he was very nice about it though..
and not only that.. the whole fck’n rig was squeaky clean.. and I mean all of it.. no greasy dirty deck.. nothing.. you could eat off it..
they even had a “mud room” before actually entering the enclosed part of the rig.. you had to disrobe and dis-boot before entering the interior quarters..
this strict protocol followed over into drilling operations as well.. so.. point being.. it can be done.. Florida can use the Alabama model for reference.. a launching point..
DeSantis should appoint me to handle it.. I will have their asses so fck’n squeaky clean and tight..
they will get garbage barge duty for any deviation from his strict regulations.. or abandoned on a rusty old vacant platform.. or another company’s rig of which we have no contract with.. or threaten to kick their ass out of the fck’n chopper..
..and they will never do it again.. it’s a proven motivator..
The only State that can legally leave the USA is Texas
“a coalition of the willing”?
Serious question: Willing to do what?
Coalition of the “You go first, leave me out of it!”
FJB was ordered to call meeting of ASEAN in Washington by CCP. That is when the timing is right for their takeover of Taiwan, by either non-kinetic or kinetic action. Ms Lindsey was arranging details with POC Taiwan spy on recent visit.
Because the CCP told him to.
So the leaders can laugh at him.
To try and bully smaller countries to isolate Russia even further.
India already told Xiden to pizz off!
Asia doesn’t care about Ukraine.
Biden can’t organize how many pieces of toilet paper he needs to use. He’s just reading the script handed to him. Clueless on every level.
Biden’s not organizing this little get-together; Barry’s team is…AND it is to save Barry’s Legacy!
What a farce.
Only the blind cannot see right through it.
History will show Barry has no legacy except as a wrecking ball to America. He did more to destroy Biden in his short WH visit than the Gop in over a year.
Biden doesn’t use toilet paper, he poops in his pants.
I’m really hoping India tells him to go swing!
All they need to do is hold up a sign: “FJB”
Then India cozies up even closer to Russia. Not good.
Wish Trump, Ross, Lighthizer were running this. On the other hand if Trump were still in power “this” wouldn’t be needed.
Narenda Modi has already warned him…said India will make its own judgement
Howdy Betsy, two notes, all these countries are globalist manufacturing slave states !
Taiwan I believe is being setup for a proxy war in the South China Sea,all these countries have been buying up military hardware since obummer.
Indonesia is the most militant and aggressive, they’ve been buddying up to China.
Big muzzie population as well, the Philippines on the other hand are mostly Christians, this of course could also play into the globalist evil plan’s.
Good points all, Mungrel. At some point unless things change here in a huge and positive way…and I don’t see it…one morning we will be waking up (here) to find China has attacked Taiwan. It’s all a powder keg waiting for that one match to light the fuse. And who knows how big or little will be the incendiary moment.
The intelligence agencies are pulling the levers here, as Sundance has pointed out on so many occasions. When or if the moment comes that they are threatened with the exposure of their crimes, I suspect things will be organized to make that happen. There is a lot of highwire walking going on in many sectors.
All we can do is watch and wait…and hope they will all trip over their own feet and hubris.
(Our oldest has a childhood friend who lives and teaches in Indonesia. Every summer she comes back here and stays with our daughter. Can’t wait to get her on the ground observations from there… if she is paying attention.)
Yes, watch the bouncing ball, I was working at an Air Force Base when obummer visited with an open checkbook, we all thought it suspect at the time.
I had a few conversations with some of your Marine’s as well as my own military mates, nobody seemed to know what was going on amongst my own Indonesia seemed the logical choice for hostilities.
This was before the Tiawan fiasco though, the military buildup since then has been huge as has the Chinese land grabs.
Another point is only a few weeks ago the the Chinese made a deal with the Solomon Islands for both military and infrastructure aid.
I have long said here that a proxy war is being set up in the South China Sea, more and more evidence is pointing in this direction.
I should also point out that the Solomon Islands is the location of Guadalcanal.
Agree…they been constructing islands for years. I’ve always thought their plans have been in place but also that the Chinese are perfectly happy playing the long game.
Milley has an inside line with Chinese higher ups. He’s admitted it. And since then he’s been awfully quiet. Keeping his traitorous head below the parapet. For the moment at least.
They did, yesterday!
See TGP article , below.
…..” In a message with a twofold purpose, India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh addressed the Indian-American community of San Francisco by both warning China and rebuking Biden’s attempt to influence their foreign policy.In an implicit criticism of Biden’s handling of the conflict in Ukraine, Singh made clear the diplomatic stance of Prime Minister Modi. India, he explained, “does not believe in a diplomacy of a zero-sum game,” and will pursue friendly relations with any other nation bilaterally.
“If India has a good relationship with one country,” Singh explained, “it does not mean that its relationship with any other country will deteriorate.”
In other words, India will continue treating Russia the same that it has always done and expects the Biden administration to back off on its attempts to pressure Modi’s regime to do otherwise. “……

he’s offering $100 million, divide up over how many countries, for Covid relief and diversity training.
They figured out to use Ivermectin, and don’t need diversity training, as they KNOW what a WOMAN is,..and what ISN’T a woman.
Modi is a Nationalist, and when THEY put incredible pressure on India, not to reveal that Ivermectin was what India used, to beat Covid, THEY showed Modi their truly evil nature.
Nothing they can offer or threaten, is going to get Modi to align with WEF’ers, after that.
👍Thanks for the article sunnydaze👌
✅️Appreciate your analysis
Modi seems to have followed the advice of President Washington concerning how to treat with Nations.
If only we would listen and follow President Washington’s advice.
Never underestimate Joe’s ability to eff things up
He has lost on this one before he’s had a chance to.
Zero’s counting on it.
Never overestimate Brandon’s cabinet to NOT smear putrid feces on everything they touch!
I have a feeling Biden will add some zeros, at least three, to this.
October 2021 U.S.-ASEAN Summit, where the President announced $102 million in new initiatives

Good Friday:
The truth spoken in an answer to a question, Are you Jesus ? :
I AM
He was accused of blasphemy,
but was saying the truth – and knew so, and resolutely, steadfastly supported the truth via the punishments, upon him, by those that had not yet come to believe …
Luke 23:38-43: “There was a written notice above him, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.
More people began to believe ….

Is there a current event correlation … ?
Oh I get it. Brandon just wants them to remember what is in their best interest. Plus a little bribery massaged in.
Yes, when he gives them the wink and a nod – that’s their cue to make a beeline for the Swiss bank.
Smells like panic….
And Satan.
Every time the Demented Fraud stumbles onto the world stage, he further disgraces America
JoBama knows who’s the boss.
“Climate crisis” will be the last thing they talk about if at all.
If it is mentioned, it will be “America bad, the rest of y’all – good.”
This ought to be interesting! Hope he and the ambulance chaser both go and stand side by side and try to say something coherent.
Just sayin’
Normally, I would be light hearted and suggest: “it will be a laugh a minute with these two buffoons, but this is the WORST WHITE HOUSE ADMINISTRATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
How the hell they are still in power staggers my imagination!!
LOL! I’m sure that Biden left-wing agenda will thrill the ASEAN members, especially addressing the climate crisis and the gender equality issues. They are so laughingly blind.
Is he going to drool on them while he molests their children?
Look at the priorities listed:
My guess is, the other leaders will listen politely, nod at appropriate times, but if pushed, effectively tell Ol’ Joe to take a hike. He simply doesn’t have their respect and their is nothing here that appeals to their selv interests.
I agree.
BUT I am wondering if any of the “Leaders” will show up. Why bother? The fraud isn’t going to be saying or doing anything in reality; they all know he’s illegitimate.
It will be a meeting between the Asean Countries aides and the US aides for a big round of shits and giggles, right?
The whole damn thing is a parody! It cannot be real.
…”BUT I am wondering if any of the “Leaders” will show up”…
That was also my first thought.
The Saudis refused to take his phone call. No shows for a sit down with a man in mental decline would be a visual that would be impossible to spin.
Thank you Sundance. Great minds think alike!
Happy Easter to your and yours.
I sincerely mean it.
Was just going to post the same question – and really doubt they do show up!
Those countries may be technologically, scientifically, medically and even militarily advanced, but the cultural and ethical roots run deep. The older, everyday citizens will holler, spit and burst into loud cussing when they hear about gender equality proposals once they grasp what it really means. The educated young will snicker and laugh at the “loco” loony while they point their index fingers making cirdles at the side of the their heads. Wordless gestures for loco-loony. As for the leaders, they will not be adopting any US COVIS-19 promoted recovery or health security measures. Many of these countries have implemented successfully, their own recovery and health security measures, without the mask, vaccine mandates. If anything they aren’t going to be roped in this whole Russian rope-a-dope. If Joe will be listened to politely, he should know not to force his hand in any way because there is nothing old Joe can offer better than what they already advanced themselves. The money? Well, if Joe is using it to invest in their industries, that’s hardly an initiative of any sort. An expansion of engagement outside of that is all sugarcoating non specifics. These leaders aren’t going to worry or put any weight on any of Joe’s economic growth or favors.
I agree 100%.
“My guess is, the other leaders will listen politely, nod at appropriate times”
I’m not convinced he’ll even get that. Zero respect… I don’t blame ’em, really…
Any nation wishing to influence other nations into any kind of coalition must have the respect of these nations and have led by example.I cannot think of one that has this kind of respect today and the reasons are obvious.
“…one-fourth of the global population. Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma), and Laos are included.”
Yeah, good luck with that group. They’ve never had any experience with the US neocons, the M.O. of the military industrial complex, and insurgent turf wars.
The fact is that Ivan and the Dinks are going to be cutting some fine cut rate deals for the above countries. India has already cashed in on oil.
At the conclusion of this bogus meeting the US response will be the same “deeply disappointing” as in the last sentence below. Note who is doing the talking for India in their press.
“In his public comments, Mr. Lavrov observed that countries like Russia, India and China would not bow to pressure from the West, and that the India-Russia partnership would not change in the face of any pressure. “Those who try to implement such approaches do not understand the national identities of those countries with which they try to speak using ultimatums and blackmail.”
In the past week, the visiting EU special envoy, German NSA, U.S. Deputy NSA and U.K. Foreign Minister Liz Truss were all sharply critical of Russia and bid to strengthen its engagement in India. New Delhi had heard from U.S. President Joe Biden, who called India “somewhat shaky” amongst the Quad members. A White House official said India’s stand at the U.N., where it abstained on all votes censuring Russia was “unsatisfactory but unsurprising”, and the U.S. Commerce secretary stated that any attempt by India to subvert sanctions on Russia would be “deeply disappointing”.”

Biden couldn’t organize a personal potty visit, let alone an ASEAN summit…He’ll go, he’ll drool and look like a fool…Everyone will laugh, allbeit behind his back…and every leader will go on conducting their country’s business they’re way…Thank god.
Biden isn’t organizing anything. Quite frankly the last time Biden was capable of organizing anything, he even got caught cheating….and that was in college. But he is very slow on the uptake and he was caught cheating again and again in politics and in his personal life.
Anyway, long story short; it’s JoBama’s people, Val, and all the other guys/gals..(I can’t remember all their cutesy names) that are running the show and Joe is stumblin’, mumblin’ along with L’il Jill hangin’ for dear life so she can continue to collect all the cool stuff…like she did when his first wife died in that car crash (poor soul..God rest her soul)…but Jill was there to HELP with Stumblin’Mumblin’ and fetch those kids up!
Ole Joe will be there until Barry tells him “it’s time to move on Joe”….it was all part of the STEAL/DEAL!!!
My prayer is that God will, in his devine power and authority, expose all the evil of Barrack Obama and those leading up to, including into and after his installation. I do not believe we have had fair elections in many, many decades.
Mitt never did respond when asked why he choked!
Keep your filthy paws off SE Asia! And I can say without reserve, no one likes you here! NO….ONE!
Many SE Asian countries are still strongly independent, mostly unsullied by CCP whose plots over many years and still are eyeing to gain dominance and conquest; including the Straits gateway of commercial oceanic traffic between east and west, with Singapore as second to none as world’s largest port after Rotterdam. The old Singapore guard knew to militarily equip his country and his men for such an event. Most of the SE Asian countries are no slouches at self-governance and do not take to any outside interference; despite corruption among their politicians, most earn their respect and trust because of their hard work and policies. They are especially wary of ‘Western’ influences and practices that debilitate, erode and destroy common good morals and work ethics, family unity and caring of their own folks, especially their young and their elders. Filthy paws with lying tongue inviting these folks to DC – is he paying their way for everything?
Are they pledging to hemorrhage more IT jobs to India? You know it used to be Indian workers flooded in to the US with H1B visas. Now US employers are simply hiring Indian workers in India and they work remotely. At my company all of the US IT contractors in my division have been let go and replaced with “offshore” Indian workers. Full time employees are next.
What does the USA have to offer these Countries?
Most of them have been militarily and politically savaged by the hand of the political elites in the Beltway.

Inflated Fiatssssssssssssssssss
Meeting ending
“Those of you staying with our trade systems, please exit to the right where you will be receive instructions from my brother. Those of you going with China, please exit to the left where you will receive instructions from my son.
That oughtta do it. Meeting adjourned!”
Exactly 💯 💯
Hooboy. This will be good.
This entire regime in DC, dare not call it an administration, is insane.
“Biden organizes..”
Sure, yup – no problem amigo.
FJB
The Asians will smile and say the right things and then do whatever is in their best business interests.
Is the endgame 2025? Is that when they flip the switch and go digital? SWIFT is going bye byes! So, removing Russia from SWIFT meant what exactly?

Calgon… take me away!
They’re already gone moonbat.
Don’t take this announcement at face value. This is completely nonsensical. Perhaps others like me who actually live in an ASEAN country will chime in. This appears to be an example of using the propaganda media to manage the perception of ASEAN unity with the fake Biden administration. It’s little more than a hoax put on by a fast dying power structure masquerading as the US government.
That wretched statement from the White House could serve as Exhibit A in explaining how little our foreign diplomatic corps understands the ASEAN region, and why the us embassies and duty stations there have been disrespecting these nations and wrecking us relations and image there.
I spent years living and working in the asean region. I can assure you that leaders in the region and the hundreds of millions of people who live there do not give a damn about sustainability, climate change, and the rest of the abject stupidity these US morons push. The US representatives embarrass US citizens and themselves by their arrogance, tone deaf ness, and inability to listen learn and adapt.
The US has good historical relations there but woke ideology is destroying them. The US casts a big shadow in this region but on this trajectory of stupidity and incompetence, asean nations will soon begin to tell the US to pound sand and bugger off.
Thank you Buck Turdgison for stating the truth of the matter.
I expect that some doubting tom or tonya or whatever will ask for your credentials and a link to your proof.
Me? I have many years experience in government and politics, so I can tell a BS’r from the get-go and even if you are a spoofer, I’ve already done my research, so I know you are telling us the truth as you have experienced it.
And finally: “asean nations will soon begin to tell the US to pound sand and bugger off.”
I agree and this little lovefest get together coming up is just about the perfect time to send that message up close and personal, so there is no room for any misunderstanding.
I continue to believe the Best is Yet to Come.
I continue to be struck but not surprised by the abject stupidity immaturity and condescension of the us govt and staff on these matters.
I could round up 30 people at the local pub and staff up a smarter more competent and respectful diplomatic corps in the asean region.
I’m willing to bet that if you and I sat down in a comfortable setting, ordered a beverage of choice, brought forth several phone books printed in the USA, we could in all likelihood pick candidates for our next local, state and federal seats.
And that is No Joke or Pun intended.
Yes, it really is that bad.
Easter Blessings going your way Buck!
Thanks AG a Happy Easter Sunday to you as well.
Appreciate the thoughtful commentary.
On the credentials I am a PhD scientist who worked for among other things the government of Singapore and represented the US government on some pioneering studies in the region decades ago.
I know more about the Asean region than anyone in bidens circle of morons.
I could provide naysayers the short version if they have a few hours.
Yes. I am a SE Asian but for having worked and lived in many countries agree that for someone who has lived in the ASEAN region you are right to say definitely that US historical good relations there up to not too many years ago has rapidly diminished with this WH occupant from day 1 – all within a very short time. There has never been this level of disrespect and distrust as well. Those who have relatives, friends and business connections over there tell the same story.
Thanks Nichan My work and life in the region was a few years back but I was there a long time and remain engaged.
I could see the stupidity from the us diplomatic corps beginning to eke into the region back then. Stupid condescending arrogant snowflakes representing the us. Now it’s worse
This must not reflect well on the ‘Schwabians’ .. as the Brandon administration is, after all, deep into the whole WEFian Build Back Better scam..
I don’t see how that works to Southern Asia’s collective benefit.
Biden may arrange for an ASEAN meeting, but most of those countries already are, at least tentatively, aligned with China/Russia. Any attempt for Biden to actually hold a meeting with world leaders, boggles the mind, considering that it would appear that he is barely coherent enough to read from a teleprompter. Biden is calling this meeting in response to the increasing global division of US and EU, vs the rest of the world. Perhaps he and his controllers should have thought of the ramifications of their past decisions which encouraged such a division, before now.
Vietnam and China are almost formal enemies. They went at it back in the 80s. Vietnamese are not big fans of Russia. My friends tell me I am the master of droll understatement.
You know who Vietnamese like? Yah they like Americans.
In Hanoi years ago I asked my gracious Vietnamese hosts about this. We fought furiously with you guys, I said. We killed a lot of people here. Yet you tell me you like me and Americans why is that?
The response: ‘That was a long time ago.’

You’ll find legitimate links in the article, as well. Biden is not looking to meet with countries that have signed on to US allegiance. He is looking to sign on countries that the US as doubts about.
Biden needs to negotiate with foreign countries privately.
He cannot publicly state US Policy and demand compliance as Trump did.
Why?
It’s obvious Biden is bringing harm to Putin/Russia with sanctions due to reserve dollar concerns.
EU/NATO are already persuaded.
The more sanctions imposed on Russia, the more fear many countries have in committing to the dollar.
sometimes the “conversation” in these comments deteriorates to the level of GatewayPundit. disappointing.
“Biden Organizes”? More likely, Ozbama the Great and Powerful back behind the curtain, is doing the organizing.
president Trump achieving for our country But Biden Delete every policy,
joe Biden is an worst president I ever seeing,
I truthfully I’m Embarrassed,
Will Joe be given adequate prep and control before his mind slips that cog that is rapidly on it’s way.
Brandon can’t organize a handshake, so who is driving us to this globalism? Half black, Kenyan, big ears, huge narcissistic ego?
I believe Modi told Biden to shove it. I have to find the article
What could possibly go wrong? The nations involved are mostly communist, so Obama believes we can buy more friends with countries that won’t be bought. Biden must be locked away in a basement an not be allowed to show his face until he is impeached or voted out of office.
